This man's collection Why Did You Leave the Horse Alone is considered his most autobiographical writing, a departure from book-length poems like "Another Year" and "That is Her Image and This is The Lover's Suicide."

One poem by this man was published in translation in Ma'ariv in 1988, giving this man overnight celebrity thanks to Shefi Gaabi mistranslating expressions like "from the sea to the Jordan River."
